Spartacus Maximus Posted September 30, 2017 Author Posted September 30, 2017 Training in martial arts and being interested in anything and everything relate to the subject would, for most “normal” people, qualify one as at the very least, a dork. “Dork” is like a shodan in dorkiness. Have yet to figure out what to call people whose martial dorkiness level is more advanced.
LLLEARNER Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 I don't give a second thought to what the "cool kids" do.Cool always changes. When I was younger comic books were not cool. Now block buster movies are made. I have never done drugs or drink in high school. I don't listen to music. My brain automatically tunes it out after a few minutes. Audiobooks keep me mentally engaged. I don't watch sports, except UFC, but I don't follow it like a true fan. I like not fitting into any one group. My politics are all over the map, but make sense to me. I tend to be more philosophical than most of my associates. But, I do my own home remodels and auto repair. I don't consider myself an artist, but get creative in the kitchen.I have no problem going to the CEO of the hospital with questions or concerns if that is the best way to get an answer. I also privately half-joke that I will have his job someday. But, I also enjoy working on the "low end" of the food chain. I am too blue-collar to be truly at home in a white-collar crowd. But, I also don't quite fit in with the stereo-typical blue-collar crowd. "Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know." ~ Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching"Walk a single path, becoming neither cocky with victory nor broken with defeat, without forgetting caution when all is quiet or becoming frightened when danger threatens." ~ Jigaro Kano
